Talking Turkey

Turkeys have been rather scarce the last few months or so.  Seriously, hardly a picture to be had on the trail camera and nothing to be seen while walking or driving about. 

They seems to have vanished and all sorts of crazy theories and worries about their survival were going round and round in my head.

Now, all off a sudden, they're back!

They're everywhere.  Huge gangs of them too.

No hens - just gobblers.

You can identify the gobblers by the long, pendulous beards that are protruding from their breast.
